Discordant Voices; Luvai's translation

Here comes a bit more than transliteration.

MIOYO LUGANO LUGANO GIMBUHI.

Dada, mioyo lugano lugano gimbuhi
Ngihulira mu liavukana
Sigiveeye muvuhambaani

Mulala gung'usaa nyenye
Kumanya goosi vugira kweera

Ugundi gungayitsa ubuhinda, ubunyali no luyali
Vioosi nivivoheywe mu lududu lwa mavaha madoto
Mu ligotwa litaveeye nelihenda.

Ugundi nagwo gunangiranga mirembe gitabimwa
Ubwikutsiri vugira vuvitiriri
Ubuhambani mu goosi nende liegomba agayanzizaa geng'ine.

Dada, yaga gavoola ki?
Mwoyo gwange mwene goveeye ki?
Ni mwoyo ki gugiingi ageligali?
Manya ndi mwoyo gwo vugadi?

Muyiingu ive, muyanze wange,
Ulavula kudidikanira lisoma
Nokumiramira agakiri kulaviritswa no kudinyiritswa,
Nkano, Anzigale, wakamanyi
Kuva mwoyo no kuhulira mioyo lugano lugano.

Original Poem by Chahilu.
